We'll now focus on home games: Mahela

Delhi lost their fifth straight game in the Indian T20 League when they went down to Bangalore in the Super Over Tuesday night but skipper Mahela Jayawardene has still not given up hopes of a last-four spot.

Jayawardene believes the way forward for Delhi is to now focus on all their home-games. Teams like Chennai, Kolkata and Bangalore have made fortresses of their home-grounds and the Sri Lankan run-scoring machine feels Delhi should now try and emulate some of the more successful teams in the T20 extravaganza.

"We will give ourselves a chance to get into the 'Final Four' if we can win the home games. That is something we really have to focus on,"

Delhi had a golden chance to get off the mark in the points table but their Super Over defeat could hurt them later. Delhi managed only 11 of the 16 required to win but there was no Virender Sehwag to take strike. However, Jayawardene clarified he did not have the option of sending Sehwag in.

"If I had that option I would have fancied sending Sehwag, but that option wasn't there for me," he said.

Jayawardene said Delhi needed to develop a positive frame of mind.

"We just need to get a few results going our way. We probably tend to make negative decisions. So those are things we need to somehow get rid of from our minds and be very positive. It is important that we go with a positive frame of mind because we got a very good team. The talent is there, the ability is there," insisted the captain.

Jayawardene, though, was pleased with the way his team fought back from almost a hopeless situation. Bangalore were cruising along but Delhi were sensational in the last four overs to take the game to the tie-breaker.

"Until 16th over the game was over for us, but with a couple of wickets we could manage to put some pressure on their tailenders. We did not take some good decisions during that period and that is how the game goes," he said.

"We probably were 10-20 runs short. Yes we had a good game but no points," Jayawardene added.

Indian pacer Umesh Yadav bowled the first four balls of the Super Over brilliantly, but gave away two sixes in the last two balls.

"These are the mistakes we have been repeating in last four to five games in crucial situations. We are not being clinical enough in executing," said Jayawardene.
